Deep dives

Israel's Military Strategy in Lebanon

The military strategy of Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu in Lebanon is viewed as exceptionally reckless due to the complex terrain and strong opposition forces it faces. Historical context shows that previous Israeli invasions have resulted in high casualties and difficulties in overcoming guerrilla tactics employed by local fighters. Current reports indicate that Israeli forces are already experiencing significant casualties in their latest efforts, with Israel's conventional military method proving ineffective against entrenched resistance. Many observers believe that this misguided approach could lead to further isolation for Israel on the international stage, particularly as it escalates tensions with neighboring countries.
